Our children are all grown up now and well into adult lives of their own, so you could say that we now live our lives mostly as adults only. We chose to embrace that several years ago when we set out on our Gypsynester adventures. We call it “Celebrating Life After Kids.”
That means that these days taking an adults only vacation seems perfectly natural to us. It is a great way to embrace our time as a couple, enjoy it, and dare we say celebrate it. With that in mind, we have discovered an Adults-only hotel in Puerto Rico, on Gran Canaria that just might be the best way ever to make a special grown up getaway great.
The Marina Bayview Hotel has absolutely everything that we look for when we plan an adults only trip. I mean, after all, we spent a lot years raising our three kids so there is no way we are going to feel even slightly guilty about going to an adults only hotel and enjoying all that they, and Canary Islands have to offer.
Let’s start out with a private jacuzzi because we love a hot tub. Who doesn’t? But that is only the first of the many amenities that make for an ultimate relaxing stay in the idyllic setting of the marina at Puerto Rico.
This escape revolves around the fact that Marina Bayview is so much more than a typical hotel. Guests can really spread out in well appointed apartments that are specifically designed with all the comforts of home in mind.
There are always secluded balconies or terraces in each suite. perfect for lounging outdoors in the Canary Islands sunshine. We love to bask in the peaceful privacy while taking in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Or we can pamper ourselves at the adults only pool and unwind with an adult beverage. It’s easy to see how the cares of the everyday world just drift away.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t remember what it was like to run ragged chasing children all over. So we completely understand that younger parents with their kids still at home need a break every now and then too. Everybody needs some time just for themselves now and then or the burn out could become overwhelming.
Parents should never feel the least bit uncomfortable or guilty about taking a kid free vacation. It is a great way to rest up, relax, and recharge so that you can return home more refreshed and ready to get back to raising those kids with renewed vigor or back to work with new found energy.
We like to think that a big part of that renewed energy can come from removing the day to day chores that we have at home, like cleaning and cooking. That’s why choosing a Hotel with buffet breakfast in Gran Canaria is so important to us.
Everyone should start the day in the best way, that means a big breakfast at La Ballena in the open air and with amazing sea views. But it is really all about the food. The Buffet features everything from freshly baked pastries, fresh fruit, or yogurt and cereal, to hot dishes like scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages. Because it is always a good idea to start your day on the right foot.
And for those folks who are lucky enough to live on Gran Canaria, you’ll love the fantastic offer of a special discount for residents. It can’t be any easier to enjoy an incredible vacation while saving 10%.
Just enter the promotional code RESIDENTE, or check the box when you search and relax. But hurry, the offer ends when 2025 turns to 2026.
That almost makes us want to move to the Canary Islands. Who wants to come along?
